Ryan Hornby selects Cowshed Social for next role

TedX speaker and marketing entrepreneur - Ryan Hornby - has joined Cowshed Social as managing director to help drive the ambitious young business forward.

The social media content production agency was founded by George Cowin (29) and Ryan O’Shea (27) in July 2019 and now employs 47 people from its central London studio.

Counting Footasylum, KFC, Chelsea FC, Boohoo and EA Games among its clients, it has carved out a niche in the entertainment-first content arena, working with global brands to strategise, curate and create their social video content.

Ryan Hornby, chief growth officer at Cowshed Social, said: “With seven departments, the agency is a fast growth business with both phenomenal people and skills. This combined with the sheer hard work, expertise and ambition of the co-founders, George Cowin and Ryan O’Shea, meant accepting their offer was a no-brainer. Cowshed Social has got everything it takes to make it in this competitive industry - the knowledge, creativity and passion here is second to none so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve.”

He added: “I was adamant that there was quite simply no business and no offer that could have ever convinced me to become employed again. Yet Cowshed did exactly that. Cowshed is different.”

Co-founder George Cowin said: “We’re so happy to have Ryan Hornby on our team as full time CGO. His experience of this industry is phenomenal and he’s begun implementing his growth strategy, which is opening doors for Cowshed Social already. He’s the ideal person to help us flourish and create our vision of a unique agency that people love to work for and clients want to work with. Exciting times!”

Ryan Hornby joins George Cowin and Ryan O’Shea on the C-Suite at Cowshed Social. He’ll report directly to the co-founders.
